Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian has reportedly submitted a resignation letter to the Supreme Leader’s office, Fox News said, citing an Iranian media report.According to the report, which cited an unnamed Iran International source, Pezeshkian said in the letter that his administration was excluded from major decision-making processes in Iran, while radical factions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had taken control of key matters.The report further claims that Pezeshkian wrote that he is unable to govern effectively or fulfill his legal responsibilities under such circumstances and has therefore requested to step down immediately.Iran International also said it was unclear whether Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s office would accept the resignation.However, an official in Iran’s presidential office rejected these reports. “The baseless and controversial statements of a young fame-seeker regarding the presidency’s positions should not be taken seriously,” said Seyed Mehdi Tabatabai, vice president of the Communications and Information Dissemination Department of the Presidential Office. The childish behavior of some misguided elements should not spread the false narrative that the youth do not have the capacity to play a role in governing the country. Iran is full of thoughtful youth who have not been given the opportunity for excellent management.”Rejecting reports of the resignation, he said, “The spreading of rumors by controversial foreign networks is a continuation of the previous ridiculous media game. They have published their wishful thinking in place of reality. President Pezeshkian will not turn back from serving the people, just as the Iranian nation will not turn back from the path of solidarity and resistance. He will take his desire to break the unity of the Iranian nation to the grave.“
